Clara enjoyed traveling all her life and she especially loved going to California to visit her children.

She made many trips with her friend, Ruth Rubin of Springfield, Mass., during the 70's and 80's to Washington D.C., New York City, Philadelphia, Erie, Pa., and Rehobeth Beach, Md. In 1993, for her 50th wedding anniversary, Clara and Wayne traveled to Hawaii, as a gift from their children. One of her greatest joys was singing with her cherished lifelong friends, Faith Holland and Hope Lacourciere.

Since retirement, Clara lived in the same house that she and her mother were born in. She recorded the family and historical events and more importantly, wrote in her diary every day since she was nine, when she received her first diary for Christmas from her mother.
